One Autumn Season

One Autumn Season as the leaves fell

A meeting so all agencies involved could tell 

Of a man whose self neglect was more than evident 

Forgot about the wife too who was in resident

Their folly was to be of fatal detriment 

As Autumn turned to winter cold 

Of this the meeting should of told
So too a potential continued handover of care would lapse

In our world that would for me collapse
One December day at sunrise
Of my late husband's undignified demise
From a time line of fatal consequence
Learnt totally not since hence
